Discussion

The source .mlmodel file must be on the device. Pass the compiled model to init(contentsOf:) to initialize an MLModel instance.

Listing 1. Compiling a model file and creating an MLModel instance from the compiled version

let compiledUrl = try MLModel.compileModel(at: modelUrl)
let model = try MLModel(contentsOf: compiledUrl)

Compiling can be time consuming and shouldn’t be done on the main thread.

See Downloading and Compiling a Model on the User’s Device for more details.
